WISDOM

The world is an arena where we came to perform some actions. The actions need training. But this training is a continuous process. A child, when starts to learn, he learns as per instruction. Similar is for animals. After this learning, an animal learns something only for survival purpose. But humans do not learn only for survival. They seek knowledge as a basic need.  Sometimes they also realise something without any teacher or instruction or necessity but through their life experiences. This self-realisation is wisdom which is worth of any valuable gem.

In the land of blinds

I am selling mirrors in the land of blinds.

Round, new mirrors. The clandestine

peek in my soul makes it so hard to

face the devil waiting at the door.

Ahead lies a thorny way where hope is the nectar.

face it, taste it, consume it. Better

be a lone wolf; have the good shepherd;

live to the last breath playing the charades.

Kaleidoscope

Fate is a curious thing, like a kaleidoscope,
Every time you looks around, you may find hope
Or despair, agony; like a chameleon
It changes with time, with space, with notion.
You feel it, but you can not see it, like air.
It can take you to zenith or can push you down to nadir.
The invisible thread binds us all
Though it can not defeat our soul;
"We make our own destiny", as they say,
With endeavor, determination, success lay
On the path of sweat, struggle beneath
atop the path full of thorns, stays life's labyrinth.

Cry

Burning through the veins the agony to live,
Intellectual demise carries the bliss, to give
Joy de vivre. Our own futility mimes
On the cardinal rule of democracy.
Yet sublime thy mind!

THE TRYST

Streets are empty with glowing street lights,
alleys covered with mist, foggy wind passes by,
yearning for the soul. The old man stands
atop the rocky wall....
Noah's Ark lies beneath his feet. Shimmering
day and lenient night walk side by side;
effervescence of solitude gathers upon. The
epoch making tryst, the ploughing of the field
proliferates the bliss.

This is dedicated to my friend Sayandeep Kundu.

Effervescence of a dreamer

The world is an arena where we come to perform some actions. Those actions need training. But this training is a continuous process. When a child starts to learn, he or she learns as per instruction. Similar is the case of all animals. But an animal learns only to survive. But humans do not learn only for survival. They seek knowledge as a basic need.
A human sometimes realizes knowledge without any teaching or instruction or necessity. This self-realization of knowledge is wisdom. so wisdom=self-realization of knowledge. Moreover, one gains knowledge everyday, but gains wisdom rarely. So it should be preserved as a treasure.
At first, this world is a chaos. It has been put into order. This journey from chaos to order is civilization. The supreme force has put some rules in this chaos. So there is also order in the chaos. But it is not so distinct or transparent to realize. We, the rebellious, try to defy these rules of chaos and to establish our own order. May be that's why nature hates us as much as she loves us.
